And even though the Ducks are a team many viewed as being underseeded by the NCAA selection committee, they happen to be a team ideally suited to be wrecked by Louisville's full-court pressure defense.

Oregon turns over the ball 15.1 times per game, which is 299th in Division I. Louisville just got done forcing a combined 44 turnovers from North Carolina A&T and Colorado State with a jazzed-up press they rarely used in Big East competition. They figured to retreat to their soft press and 2-3 zone as soon as they faced a serious Final Four contender. But now?

"We've got to do a better job handling the ball against them," Ducks coach Dana Altman said. "They do extend their pressure. They do a great job at changing it up.

"We're not, in three or four days, going to change the way we've played all season. We've got to try to clean it up a little bit. But we're going to make mistakes. We've just got to play through those mistakes. We've been able to overcome our turnovers in most situations."
